Chapter 11 Help Me Tidy Up My Room

• Next, he pulled out a needle from his person.
• The needle was of a golden hue.
• This needle, crafted from pure gold, was approximately three inches long, with the body of the needle itself being over an inch long.
• The tip was as delicate as an embroidery needle, with a handle made of bamboo. It looked incredibly refined.
• Upon seeing this needle, Janet instantly felt a sense of unease.
• “Huh? Will it hurt?”
• “No, it won't hurt at all,” Dominic said with a chuckle.
• “Where will the needle go?” Janet still felt a bit scared.
• “Mrs. Litchfield, you can just lean back on the couch. I just need to perform acupuncture on a certain point behind your ear.”
• “I see. All right, then, but be gentle.”
• Once she finished speaking, she quickly shut her eyes. She was afraid of needles.
• Dominic couldn't help but chuckle. He pulled out a small bottle from his pocket. It was filled with medical alcohol, used for disinfection.
• After sterilizing the gold needle, Dominic put on a serious look, and his right hand shot out like a bolt of lightning as he inserted the gold needle into an acupoint behind Janet's ear.
• The needle had already pierced her skin, yet she remained unperturbed as if she didn't feel anything at all.
• Dominic held the gold needle, gently twirling it around.
• Roughly after a minute, Dominic asked with a smile, “Mrs. Litchfield, how are you feeling now?”
• “I feel good. I can feel a warmth coursing through my body. I could almost fall asleep,” Janet murmured as if she was in a trance.
• Dominic merely smiled.
• That's more like it.
• The acupuncture technique he was employing was far from the usual traditional methods.
• It was a technique known as Celestial Divine Needle.
• This type of acupuncture technique had already been lost to the world. Aside from him, only his mentor knew it.
• In the past, he had saved countless lives using this particular acupuncture technique.
• It was merely child's play to use it now to treat a case of insomnia.
• “I'm back!”
• At that moment, the sound of Yvonne echoed from outside. She walked in, carrying two large bags of goods.
• Inside, there were household items previously bought from the supermarket, along with some vegetables.
• “Dominic, what are you doing?”
• Upon entering, Yvonne was taken aback to see Dominic poking a needle into her mother's head, her face instantly losing all color.
• She hurriedly came over with quick strides.
• “Calm down,” Dominic quickly said when he saw her reaction. “I'm just administering acupuncture for Mrs. Litchfield.”
• Yvonne paused, her face filled with uncertainty.
• “Acupuncture?”
• She looked at her mother, whose eyes were closed in sheer enjoyment, and her worries immediately faded away.
• Just a moment ago, she had thought that Dominic was hurting Janet.
• “You really know about medicine? Are you really a doctor?”
• Yvonne still found it somewhat hard to believe.
• Previously, when they were at the supermarket, Dominic had mentioned that he had studied medicine, and she had found it hard to believe.
• In her understanding, all doctors were supposed to be refined and gentle, appearing somewhat frail and delicate.
• Contrarily, Dominic was different. His fury was terrifying to behold, often resulting in him breaking people's limbs.
• She wondered whether it was common for a doctor to have such combat skills.
• “Well, the facts are right in front of you.” Dominic rolled his eyes. “If you have any questions, ask them later. I need to finish Mrs. Litchfield's acupuncture first.”
• Yvonne fell silent, quietly observing from the side.
• A moment later, Dominic ceased his manipulation of the gold needle. With a swift pull, the needle was removed from Janet's body.
• While putting away the gold needle, Dominic asked with a smile, “All right, Mrs. Litchfield, how are you feeling now?”
• Janet opened her eyes, releasing a long sigh.
• She rose from the couch, her face glowing with vitality. “It's incredible. I feel in top form now, as if I've had a full night's sleep. I don't feel tired at all.”
• Moreover, she no longer felt any pain on her face and chest.
• Her entire being was brimming with energy.
• It was simply unbelievable.
• When she returned earlier, she had felt completely exhausted, a faint pain radiating from her chest and face.
• But now, all these symptoms had vanished.
• “Dom, you're truly incredible. Thank you,” Janet said with a smile.
• “Mrs. Litchfield, please don't mention it. It was merely a small effort on my part.”
• Yvonne also wore a face of surprise.
• Janet had been suffering from insomnia, and she was well aware that her mental strength was not up to par. But Dominic had cured her with his brilliant medical skills.
• So, is there hope for Dad's paralysis as well?
• Yvonne gazed intently at Dominic.
• “I just used acupuncture to help alleviate your fatigue and applied a revitalizing technique to rebalance your body. Mrs. Litchfield, you will certainly have a good night's sleep tonight.”
• “Thank you. I'm going to cook now. Why don't you chat with Yvonne first?”
• Janet was in high spirits, cheerfully taking the ingredients that Yvonne had bought and heading into the kitchen.
• Yvonne looked at Dominic, wanting to speak but hesitating.
• With a helpless look on his face, Dominic said, “I know what you want me to do, but couldn't you at least let me have a nice meal first? Besides, I still haven't met your father and I'm not clear about his current condition. This matter can't be rushed.”
• A blush crept up on Yvonne's pretty face when she realized she had been exposed.
• “Um, thank you.”
• She felt it was only right to express her gratitude to Dominic in a sincere manner.
• He had helped her so much and even helped her mother regain her health. This was indeed a significant favor.
• “Hey, why the formality?” Dominic waved his hand nonchalantly. “After all, we're living under the same roof now. I'm hoping Mrs. Litchfield can cook more delicious food for me in the future.”
• Yvonne glared at him, wondering if he felt any embarrassment from the words he just uttered.
• “Hey, that's my mom you're talking about. You're just a tenant here. Why are you acting like this is your home?”
• With a face full of joy, Dominic said, “Mrs. Litchfield said so herself. She told me to make myself at home here. I see Mrs. Litchfield as my own mother.”
• “You have no shame!”
• Yvonne shot him another glare, appearing irresistibly cute.
• “Haha, all right, I'll stop bickering with you. Could you please help me tidy up my room?”
• Dominic beamed at Yvonne.
• “Can't you do it yourself?” Yvonne looked at Dominic in disbelief.
• Did he just ask an unmarried girl to help him tidy up his room?
• Has he no shame?
• “What's the matter? I've helped you so much. Is it too much to ask for you to help me tidy up my room?”
• Dominic still wore a smile on his face.
• He thoroughly enjoyed bickering with Yvonne. The way she looked when she was angry was simply too adorable.
• Yvonne gritted her teeth in frustration, yet she found herself unable to utter a word of refusal because Dominic's words had hit her where it hurt.
• “You're so lazy. No wonder you still don't have a girlfriend!” Yvonne grumbled, carrying a bag of household goods as she entered Dominic's room.
